Exuberant joy reigned at the Sainte Claire that day! Oh what a time was had by all!! Joy unabridged, mirth unbridled, and cares and woes cast to the wind!

This CD is an afterthought, for it was never intended to be a release, only a recording of the day's events for my personal reflection. As friends and cronies listened to it, all encouraged me to make it a commercial release. When I talked about editing out my verbal ramblings in between selections, the cry was, "Oh, no! The words add flavor and insight into who YOU are." So, here 'tis--me singing, me laughing at myself and with the world, audience wildly effusive in its applause and love, and musicians playing music that dreams are made of.

-- Joyce Randolph

A classic, old-fashioned voice full of emotion and style. Her supple voice ranges from sexy and warm to pain-filled and sweeping. Bill Bell on piano and Jeff Chambers on bass take turns providing sophisticated, unexpectedly modern accompaniment that bridges styles and decades. She also gives the guys a couple of tracks on their own, which is cool.

  1. Sweet, smoky ballad with subtle piano and lots of style.
  2. Relaxed vocal, cool bass solo, honey-smooth.
  3. Midtempo, lightly swinging piano/bass duet, the guys get to shine.
  4. Downtempo ballad w/bass adding a contemporary twist.
  5. Slow & sultry Billie Holiday blues. Hot...
  6. Slow and gorgeous, vocals & piano.
  7. Downtempo vocals & bass, w/long bass solo.
  8. Down/midtempo Cole Porter chestnut, cool vox/bass duet.
  9. Slow w/lush piano an old-fashioned, late night sound.
  10. Mid/upbeat piano & bass duet w/a lightly swinging feel.
  11. Slow blues w/bass playing the heartstrings & vocals moaning.
  12. Piano/vocals on a slow gospel hymn.
-- Lisa Dornell (Decca), KZSU fm Stanford University, Stanford, CA
(April 9, 2009)


"...Light the candles and fill the glasses, snuggle up to your main squeeze, relax and enjoy a very intimate offering by Joyce Randolph accompanied by the 'Jazz Professor' Bill Bell on piano and the masterful Jeff Chambers on bass. That's what I did and will want to do over and over again."

-- Haybert King Houston, Publisher/Editor-in-Chief, Jazz Now Interactive (October 2004)


"This is an album of duets and trios, sparse in outlay but rich in content; the opening track "Just a Little Blue" is the only one written by Joyce and is a duet with pianist Bill Bell. Like all the tracks, there is a noticeable sense of spatial freedom and Joyce sings it with an emotive touch steeped in poignancy."

-- Ferdinand Maylin, Scotland Editor, Jazz Now Magazine
